Five years ago, shortly after You Fang's sister got married, his mother died of illness. His mother was the most gentle and caring person in the world for You Fang. He was sad for a long time, but a year later, his father remarried.
A young, sexy, fairy-like woman.
On the one hand, he had complaints against his father in his heart, blaming his father for not remarrying in such a short period of time. Even if he married again, he could not marry such a woman, who was only nine years older than You Fang. In his opinion, this seemed to be
A betrayal of his deceased mother.
On the other hand, his father and stepmother reunited as a family and lived under the same roof. You Fang felt very awkward, but he couldn't find anything wrong with it. His stepmother was young, beautiful, gentle and pleasant, and even more rare was that she was well-educated and well-educated in a big city.
She had never abused You Fang, but had been showing kindness to him. The seventeen-year-old You Fang was already extraordinary, and it was not easy to bully him.
But You Fang couldn't figure it out, why would such a woman marry the You family in the countryside? Although the You family lived a good life there, with her stepmother's conditions, she could definitely find a better man in a big city. If it was for
Qian couldn't explain it. So what was she planning? You Fang has always had this question, suspecting that his stepmother had an agenda, but there was no evidence.
Later, something happened that made You Fang feel very embarrassed. When he was eighteen years old, he simply left his hometown and went to the capital to be a drifter, euphemistically known as wandering in the world. His father did not stop him, because You Fang had been familiar with the world since he was a child.
With all the means at the gate, such a child should be able to fend for himself when released. (Note: You Fang’s background and origins will be explained in detail later.)
What Liu Li said just now: "You are full of beauty but have a few flaws. Your temples are growing diagonally across your eyebrows. There must be something wrong with your parents and your family is not ordinary. The reason why you ran away from home is related to this." The previous sentence reads fortune telling.
The terminology is just an introduction, and the ambiguous judgment in the following sentence sounds like a miracle to ordinary people!
You Fang's great-uncle Mo Zhengqian was a fortune teller in his early years. He was good at fortune telling, fortune telling, divination and other amazing tricks. Later he joined a Taoist temple in a local scenic area and became a Taoist priest. Later, he even became a Taoist priest.
The position of the abbot. You Fang has been familiar with the various methods of Jianghu since he was a child, so he didn't take the old man's first words to heart.
The so-called "heaven" in physiognomy is the forehead, commonly known as the forehead. When a fortune teller looks at a face, the first thing he looks at is the heavenly complexion, the second thing is the look of the eyes, and the third thing for a man is the bridge of his nose.
When a woman looks at her lips, the first three eyes are a must for all fortune tellers. Each one has its own specialties, which also include the principles of medicine, physiology, and psychology.
In traditional Chinese medicine examination, the color of the heaven is very important, as it can reflect a person's health condition. And a skilled Chinese doctor can even roughly infer the qi and blood condition of the fetus at birth from the shape of a person's heaven, because
It is formed before and after birth, and has a certain correlation with the physical and mental conditions of the parents at the time of conception, and can then be roughly inferred about the person's parents.
However, this inference is quite hazy, and is more affected by various other factors, so it is impossible to draw a definite conclusion. From the relationship between the heavenly court to the parents, it sounds like a specious insider's saying. As for the following "the sideburns are slanted"
"The appearance that invades the eyebrows" and so on are purely improvised, casually arranged according to the characteristics of each person's appearance, and flexibly controlled, just to make the following words sound logical. Most people don't understand this.
As for the next few sentences, they are even more amazing, but to the outsiders, they also have different meanings, and it is difficult to be sure. The old man said four levels of meaning: the first level is "Some of them may not be here anymore."
"; the second level is "if you are still alive, you may be divorced or have emotional discord and often have conflicts"; the third level is "no matter what the situation is, it makes you feel alienated now"; the fourth level is "you are still a human being"
A good boy, I hope to honor my parents."
The fourth level of semantics is universally applicable. Which child does not think that he "wants to honor his parents"? Even the unfilial children in the world will find various excuses, thinking that they originally wanted to honor their parents, but failed to do so due to various reasons.
It's all about getting what you want.
As long as the third level of semantics is spoken, it is inseparable. Not to mention that the development and change of contemporary Chinese society are very fast. Young people in their early twenties always have some conceptual conflicts with their parents, and they are "inseparable" from the previous generation.
It's not uncommon to have a "feeling of alienation". Just talking about You Fang himself, he is not very old but is obviously a veteran of mixed society. There is no way to explain the alienation from his parents.
As for the first two levels of semantics, it is the martial arts of Jianghu Jingmen, which shows social experience and the ability to see people. Don’t forget what Liu Li was doing when he first saw You Fang? He was killing people and setting fires, and he was doing
So clean!
You Fang is twenty-one years old this year and looks to be in his mid-twenties. Children of this age should generally be in college. Even if they are not studying, they are still under the protection and care of their parents. Generally, those with strict fathers and loving mothers and normal family education
How could a child run out to commit murder and arson? Ordinary people may not understand, but grassroots criminal police officers who often handle cases have the experience of being able to participate in vicious crimes very sophisticatedly at a very young age. The family environment in which such people grow up is usually problematic.
This is not a 100% certain conclusion, but judging from case statistics, the probability is very high, reaching almost 89%.
Most normal families are similar, but what about abnormal families? The problem is nothing more than the parents. Either the parents are gone and no one cares about the children, or one parent is away and the other has no time to take care of the children. Or it is a divorced family, or a relationship
There are discords and conflicts, frequent quarrels, neglect of control of the children, and letting the children wander around in society. Liu Li's first two levels of semantics are judgments based on this social experience.
As for Liu Li's first sentence, "Some of them may no longer be here", to ordinary people, it sounds like it has come true. This is the method of "getting a man on the shed" in the martial arts. The boldest reasonable guess
, the most miraculous judgment is placed in the first sentence. First of all, people are surprised, and then you go back to it layer by layer. If you are not right, you can try to make it right. If you are right, the other party may think that you are wrong.
I met a living god.
Among the eight gates of Jianghu, Jingmen is mainly about fortune telling and divination. The reason why it got its name lies in the word "jing".
Liu Li played this trick very skillfully. If he were not a Feng Shui master, he would be very good as a fortune teller, but in front of him was also an "old Jianghu". You Fang was just stunned for a moment, and then
After a second thought, he figured it out, nodded slightly noncommittally and said: "Of course the juniors admire the seniors' eyesight."
Seeing his unsurprised reaction, Liu Li seemed satisfied, but a little unwilling to do so. He twirled his beard and said, "Don't rush to praise me, I haven't finished speaking yet."
You Fang shrugged: "You can continue."
"You were born in a place where dragons and snakes were mixed since you were young. It is difficult to distinguish between good and evil among the relatives around you, but few of them are engaged in serious business. People like you have done a lot of deception and abduction. If you are not careful, you will
You are an evil person. In recent years, you have often been confused about what you are doing. There are many things that you don’t know what to do."
These words were absolutely correct. You Fang raised his head and hesitated to speak. Seeing his reaction, Liu Li became more energetic and couldn't stop talking: "You are a person with no ambitions. You just want to enjoy yourself comfortably."
In life, live a leisurely and comfortable life. But you just came out of the rivers and lakes. You have been covered in mud since you were a child. The things you learned may seem useful, but you are not willing to use them. But deep down in your heart, you still hope that you
It’s clean and tidy, but it’s a pity that it can’t be done, so I’m confused.”
You Fang finally took the initiative to speak: "How did senior find out?"
Liu Li smiled proudly and said around his fingers: "Don't forget where you like to stay after killing someone? Surrounded by lotus leaves! This is the case in Cangzhou, and it is also the case in Jinan. In the eyes of the Earth Master, what kind of choice is unintentional?
The environment can reflect the state of mind. Didn't you read how the ancients described the lotus when you were in school? Coming out of the mud but not stained, washing the clear ripples without being evil, this is what you hope for but is not easy to achieve...
"
The old man went further and further, and had already reached the point of "The Theory of Ai Lian". If he said that You Fang killed Kuang Hu and others but did not take the things from the tomb, so he inferred this... he could make it up even more roundly,
But he was indeed right. As expected of an old Jianghu, he was very accurate in judging people!
You Fang stopped talking, and his thoughts gradually drifted away, recalling many past events. In the silence, the old man patted his shoulder suddenly, and Liu Li asked: "Little You, why don't you speak?"
You Fang: "You have finished speaking. What do you want me to say?"
Liu Li laughed and said, "Little wanderer, tell yourself, are you a good person or a bad person?"
This question is so simple, but it is also the most complicated question in the world. You Fang looked up at Daming Lake and said with a wry smile: "Since ancient times, when I have been in the rivers and lakes, my conscience has been half eaten by dogs, but I always resort to robbing the rich and giving to the poor.
The slogan "Chivalrous and righteous" makes excuses for "cheating, cheating, *"; but the other half must be carefully kept, otherwise I don't know how to treat others and myself, why are you here?"
At this moment, music suddenly came from the distance, and a huge fountain in the lake started. Thousands of water jets sprayed high into the air. From a distance, there were layers of water mist floating in the air. Liu Liyi frowned: "This is
What?"
The tourist replied: "This is the large rotating fountain built the year before last. It is a scene of Daming Lake today. I saw the introduction at the entrance of the park."
"When there is no wind, there are waves. It really ruins the scenery. Let's go and eat!" The old man said he was not happy if he was not happy. Just now he was happily looking at the scenery and chatting, but he was about to leave Daming Lake in the blink of an eye.
Walking out of the north gate of Daming Lake Park, You Fang asked: "Senior, where are you going?"
Liu Li rolled his eyes at him: "What are you going to do? Take a taxi!"
You Fang smiled. This old man once chased him for dozens of miles on foot in the middle of the night. His footwork was quite impressive. But when he entered Jinan City, he could not take a taxi but did not want to use his feet to drive. So he took a local taxi.
, the road is not far, I walked half a circle around Daming Lake Park and came to Xiandong Lane. After getting off the bus, there was a restaurant on the roadside. The storefront was not very big, but the signboard was not small.
When You Fang saw it at first sight, he almost gasped. There was a pair of wooden couplets hanging on both sides of the door of this restaurant, with gold characters on a red background. The first couplet read: The virtues are superior and the subordinates write the world, and the second couplet was: Talent is high, justice is thick, and the wok is delicious. Again.
Look at the plaque directly above the gate, with four huge gold characters on it - The Master of Shandong Cuisine!
Whose restaurant dares to hang such a plaque without fear of the wind flashing its tongue? You Fang was surprised and exclaimed: "This restaurant has such a big sign!"
Liu Li pouted: "Do you think this sign has a strong tone? It's worth it! Master Cui who opened this store was born in the 11th year of the Republic of China and is already 88 this year. This little Cui learned cooking at the age of 16.
After studying various Chinese and Western cuisines, he later specialized in Shandong cuisine. In the past, he served as the chef for all three time-honored restaurants in Jinan: "Jufengde", "Huiquanlou" and "Yanxitang". When he got older, he became his own chef.
I have opened such a Shandong cuisine restaurant, and I hope that my descendants can inherit the original and authentic old craftsmanship!"
Mr. Cui, the eighty-eight-year-old master of Shandong cuisine, Liu Li actually called him "Xiao Cui" in his words, which meant that he was older or senior. You Fang remembered that when they first met
Liu Li claimed that he was thirty-nine years old in the 23rd year of the Republic of China, which means he would be 115 years old this year. You can't tell from his appearance at all, and I don't know if it is true or not, but the old man's airs are quite similar.
You Fang asked tentatively: "Senior, have you ever eaten the food cooked by Mr. Cui?"
Liu Li: "Of course I have. He was in Jufengde at that time. He was not too old and he even cooked the food himself."
As he said this, You Fang was about to enter, but Liu Li stopped him from behind: "Slow down, don't be so anxious, stand here and take a good look at this plaque."
You Fang was a little puzzled, but he still stood still and looked up at the plaque carefully. As he looked at it, he really felt something. This plaque is very new, of course it is not a cultural relic, and it does not have a rich history.
There is no special response in You Fang's spiritual sense due to the precipitated breath.
But the gilded characters on the cinnabar background look grand when hung in front of a small hotel. If you don’t know the details, you may feel that the store owner is too loud at first glance, but if you understand its origin, everyone will think that this plaque is
It should be hung here. When you stand in front of it, you will feel a sense of emotion, as if you are savoring the inheritance of a cuisine with a long history.
Before entering the store to order food, I had this feeling while standing in front of the door. You Fang was thoughtful. Liu Li smiled slightly and said: "How about it, you can see the taste, right?...Don't underestimate it."
Three meals a day may be a burden, but it can also be a kind of enjoyment and a knowledge... When you get here today, if you push the door and go in like you did just now, you won't taste anything other than vegetables and rice.
But you can’t say he’s my apprentice, I can’t afford to disgrace that person!”
You Fangpai smiled and said: "Senior, I am not your disciple to begin with."
Liu Li waved his hand carelessly: "It may happen in the future, but you have to learn more now and work hard!"
You Fang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he changed the topic and asked: "At Mr. Cui's age, it is unlikely that he can cook by himself. How is the food in this restaurant?"
Liu Li rolled his eyes and looked at You Fang as if he were a fool: "How can you ask such silly questions? I haven't been here either, so of course I won't know until I taste it! ... I brought you here for dinner today,
The main purpose is to show you this plaque. You are a Feng Shui student. If someone gives you a golden plaque of 'Earth Qi Master', would you dare to hang it in front of your door?"
You Fang quickly shook his head and said: "I only know some Feng Shui theory, I am not a Feng Shui professional, let alone a Feng Shui master. How can I dare to hang the gold plaque of the Earth Qi Master?"
Liu Li raised his chest and pointed at the plaque on the door: "As the saying goes, if you don't put pressure on yourself, people dare to hang it, and you can really afford it! I, Liu Li, dare to hang a plaque like the Earth Qi Grandmaster. I hope that you, a young wanderer, will not be unable to bear it in the future.
!”
Unable to talk seriously with the old man, his words always got around to this issue, so You Fang could only joke: "Old senior, is there really a plaque of Earth Qi Master hanging on your door?"
